New Hobby - Buttercream Flower Cup Cakes

*** Includes products from other learners as well***

Today, I am going to share something which is totally unrelated with travelling haha. However it is a very interesting thing to learn especially for girls therefore I decided to write a post on it :)

I love to eat all sorts of desserts & sweets like most of the girls as long as its pretty, fancy most importantly yummy. I wont be able to resist it even its sinful :(. Recently, there is a trend of learning beautiful pastel floral cupcakes here in Malaysia. Those buttercream flower cup cakes really looks very attractive and pretty so I decided to learn as my so called "teacher" claim that it is not difficult to learn so I am going to share my first ever experience of making these floral cupcakes, my thoughts and my final products pictures will be shown at the end of this post!

Normally, there will be a few choices of classes for you to choose from, depends on what kind of techniques you prefer to learn. I decided to join the 8 hours intense class which at the end of the day, I am supposed to learn 8 kinds of different buttercream flower cupcakes techniques & bring back my final products :)

so here is my thoughts of the 8 hour classes:

Its fun to learn

It is not as difficult as we thought

Able to meet new friends with same hobby

There is a reason why the selling price of these cupcakes are high as the process are quite tedious and very time consuming

You will need patient in order to learn this skill because some flowers might be hard to learn especially for first timer and those who do not have any single idea or experience in baking/pastry making (like me!)

After 8 hours of intense learning courses, your arms can be aching like seriously lol

Basically we start from the easiest flower technique to a medium range technique as shown below:

- Different types of roses (big roses/rose bud/small roses)
- Cherry Blossom (Aka Sakura Flower)
- Daisy
- Meringue
- Hydrangea
- Color techniques (how to create a two tone effect etc)

Conclusion:

Those who loves to bake and have creative imagination will definitely loves this techniques because you can use different kinds of colors and techniques to create your very own customize cupcakes. Its really fun and interesting for bake lovers. Also, the final product is really pretty that you won't bear to eat it! It is more like an art for me:)

Here is my final products, total 8 cupcakes <3 Hopefully it looks okay for you consider this is my first time :)
